Digital BW, The Print

This is really upsetting. 

I don't always agree with Mike on everything, but I respect his
participation and appreciate his presence in our community.

What he describes in his note must have been upsetting and hurtful for
him, and constitutes an assault on all of our rights to free speech.

I hope the moderators will do some investigating and take whatever
constructive action they find feasible and appropriate under the
circumstances to maintain the free flow of ideas we have enjoyed, and if
possible, encourage Mike to rejoin our discussions without fear anything
like this will happen again.
